S2 Ep 11Super Rugby is Flying in 2025 and the Six Nations is Coming Down to the Wire

This week on The KOKO Show we put all our shit aside and moved footy to the fore, breaking down all the round 4 action from both the Superb Rugby and Six Nations. The lads can't resist hooping and hollering at the hot throbbing product that is Super Rugby Pacific 2025, as they discuss a week of footy that was packed full of upstarts, uprisings and upsets. Within our new segment ‘KOKO’s Top 5 Takeaways’ the crew highlights how the Waratahs have found their fire, the Brumbies have built themselves a backbone and just how beautiful a weekend is when only one Kiwi team wins.Plus, these pheromone sodden phenoms take a little walk on the wild side as they unpack all the action from up north in the ‘Six Nations Summation’, bringing light to the fearless French, interrogating the incompetent Irish and somewhat extinguishing the excitable English. Moreover, with only one round left in the greatest rugby competition in the world, the boys have a little look and spirited debate about who holds poll position heading into their final 80 minutes.Lastly, we are joined briefly by the Aussie breaker of English hearts and Waratahs young gun Mr Max Jorgensen (full interview on Thursday) for a little chinwag about his red hot form in Super Rugby and the guys get down and dirty as they immerse themselves in a Quiz. So, throw the kids on the ipad, leave everything in the sink, pop a couple xannies and melt into your well weathered lazy-boy, it’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

In this week’s first spoonful of The KOKO Show you all get treated to a tasty charcuterie board of fine footy yummies.

This week on The KOKO Show our first instalment is jam packed wall to wall with the game they play in heaven as we break down all the action from across the Six Nations and Super Rugby. With so much ‘ra ra’ to rummage through we thought it would be sensible to enlist a very special guest to make sense of it all.Our guest this week is such a big deal in the world of rugby the fact he is on our dinky little show either means there was an administrative error or he is just straight up crazy. This fella is without a doubt one of the best number 10’s in the world, he hates an untidy house, his favourite film is anchorman and boy he can whip up a mean carbonara, so please put your hands together for Mr Finn Russell.With Finn in toe, we discuss and dissect all the Six Nations action from over the weekend which saw England win back the Calcutta Cup, the Irish down the resilient Welsh and the French flog the abysmal Azzurri. Furthermore, Mr Russell talks about his excitement surrounding the upcoming Lions Tour and he has promised the KOKO Crew a couple of big nights out on him.Plus, the lads also get silky with a sublime second round of Super Rugby, illuminating all the reasons as to why it is the best domestic competition in the world.

S2 Ep 5Super Rugby Starts with a Big Old Bang in Round 1 and KOKO is Left to Tidy Up

For the first installment this week of The KOKO Show we are making round one of the Super Rugby season the first order of business, as the lads crunch the numbers and survey the action from a spine tingling slate of initial matches. In a week where 45 tries were awarded, 317 points were scored and every match finished within a 1-12 margin, it would be fair to say Super Rugby is back and the fellas were physically aroused. With tight pants and positive attitudes the boys shuck each game like a delicious Sydney Rock Oyster, handing you their pearls of wisdom when necessary and throwing out the facts that don't pass the sniff test.Moreover, the guys get hot and heavy celebrating the most successful first round of Super Rugby by Aussie teams since 2018, with the Brumbies, Warartahs and Western force all notching up last gasp wins for a tangly little trifecta of triumph. Plus, the fellas are open and honest with how they are placed after week one in the KOKO Super Rugby Fantasy League, as they celebrate sexy selections, rue missed opportunities or in Prof’s case only just realised the Reds didn't play. So sit back and set up a fantasy team full of your favourite former footy greats over forty that have a mediocre podcast and let your dirtiest thoughts run wild.It is time to get freaky ladies and gentlemen with another episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMECODES:00:00 - Start of the show 01:00 - Introducing the show 04:39 - Introduce the boys 06:03 - KOKO Fantasy Super Rugby League chat 12:23 - Superb Rugby Summation 12:46 - CRUSADERS V HURRICANES REVIEW 16:35 - WARATAHS V HIGHLANDERS REVIEW29:49 - DRUA V BRUMBIES REVIEW 35:04 - BLUES V CHIEFS REVIEW 39:10 - FORCE V MOANA PASIFIKA REVIEW47:06 - KOKO’s Takeaways from round one of Super Rugby 48:37 - KOKO’s LOKO Players of the Round49:44 - Goit had to clear up a fallen tree51:14 - The KOKO Quiz 57:11 - Close of the show BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickons TWITTER/X: @kickoffskickons YOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickons TIKTOK: @kickoffskickons If you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us [email protected].

For your second trip up to the all you can eat KOKO buffet of happiness and rugby filled banter, we are giving you a healthy lashing of Super Rugby excitement, a side salad of ‘What’s Drewin’ and little sweet treat to finish as we name our first round of ‘Locked in Lions’. With the ‘Superb’ Rugby season merely hours away from kicking off the lads run their greasy mitts through each and every Australian franchise, handing you unsolicited pearls of wisdom about how each team will compete and fair in the upcoming 2025 season. We talk crucial INS, OUT and and what could have ‘beens’ for each side, as we put together the most complete and comprehensive season preview that zero dollars could buy. Plus, the boys have to smooth over some tense moments with Gits as he comes to terms with the fact most of the best Rebels players on the market didn't and shouldn’t want to live in Canberra. I mean we could all ‘A SEE T’ that was coming! Moreover, Drew clears the cobwebs off the age-old debate “What is Sua’ali’i’s best position?”, as the Tahs look to play him at the back, whilst Schmidt saw his value in the centres. Finally, to keep our little frostbitten friends north of the wall happy, we have introduced a new segment called ‘The Locked in Lions”, where for the 12 weeks the lads will pick one player each every week to put on our whiteboard that can pack their bags and book their exit rows seats for the Lions Tour Down Under. So, put your tray tables away and place your seats in the upright position as the KOKO Crew point out each and every debaucherous exit on your whirlwind trip to pleasure town.

S2 Ep 3Joe Schmidt’s Looming Exit is Tackled by KOKO, Rd 2 of the Six Nations and the Power of Life Lessons

This week on The KOKO Show our Tuesday fix gets seriously down and dirty with the world of ‘Ra Ra’ as the lads get open and honest about all the action across week two of the Six Nations, as well as pulling apart all the big news within Australian Rugby. To kick off the first episode of the week the boys went introspective outlining lessons they learnt over the weekend, in a brand new segment we like to call ‘KOKO’s Weekend Wake Up Call’.The second sinking ship to depart the port of Kick Off and Kick On was a comprehensive sweep of the sad news that Joe Schmidt will be hanging up his green and gold whistle at the conclusion of the TRC. The KOKO Crew touch on all the noble reasons for his departure, the work he has done so far and the work he will continue to do up until the end of his tenure to put Australian Rugby back on the International radar. Plus, the boys get BOLD once again, as they outline possible suitors in the rugby stratosphere that cut the mustard as Joe Schmidt’s replacement.We know what you are all thinking up north these Aussies are so bloody self-centered, but fret not my winter withered wise arses, we have once again served you up a delicious helping of the ‘Six Nations Summation’, as we highlight England’s upset over the French and Ireland’s renewed quest for that always elusive Grand Slam. So spark up a durrie because vaping is so 2024 and let this next gen rugby ruckus fill your every orifice with life, laughter and the pursuit of some fucking sponsors.

S1 Ep 43The KOKO Show’s Christmas Bonanza all the way from awesome Orange

This week on The KOKO Show we come to your eyes and ears by way of the Central Tablelands in NSW as the fellas finish off our inaugural season of KOKO in Orange. Despite the boys being of weary body and mind, they bound their Northern Hemisphere inflicted wounds, popped a couple Nurofen plus and got back on this bucking bronco of a show to finish the year off in grassroots style. When we started this show, all we wanted to do is help the average Aussie footy fan fall back in love with rugby again, whilst giving back to the OG footy fans in our rural and regional communities. Oh Boy! Let us bloody tell you rugby union is alive and well if northwest NSW is anything to go by and we can’t thank The Saltbush Hotel, Orange and the surrounding areas enough for their support of the show in our final episode of season one.In this week’s episode we put a pretty little Chrissy bow on what was a whirlwind debut season for Kick Offs and Kick Ons, discussing the year that was 2024 in both the contexts of our show as well as the World Rugby landscape as a whole. The lads breakdown their highs and lows of the year, who and what caught their eye on the field and what 2025 has in store for all of us. We would like to give a big thank you to our headline sponsor MYER for all of their support this year and allowing us to create a show that accurately conveys the light and shade of Australian Rugby. Plus, we would also like to show some love to all of our sponsors throughout 2024 for being vital cogs in the wheel of success that was KOKO 1.0. In a year that has seen us laugh, cry, sit on milk crates and then travel to all corners of the globe, it is you our fans that deserve the final thanks. Without your support week in and week out, we wouldn't be able to put this poor excuse of a podcast together and for that we are eternally grateful. So, for the final time in 2024 lather yourself in baby oil, put on your comfiest lounging around g-banger and let the buttery tones of KOKO take you on a journey. It is time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMECODES 00:00 - Start of the show 01:36 - Introducing the show03:51 - Introducing the boys07:05 - Thanks to the Saltbush Hotel for having us10:56 - Highlights and lowlights of the year17:41 - Favourite guest 21:20 - Budgy Smuggler23:40 - THE WALLABIES YEAR AND AWARDS29:16 - Joe Schmidt’s future in Australian Rugby 33:39 - Wallabies five year plan 37:03 - The Lions tour39:12 - SIX NATIONS PREVIEW42:25 - THE ALL BLACKS’ YEAR IN 202446:23 - THE SPRINGBOKS’ YEAR IN 202448:52 - ARGENTINA’S YEAR IN 2024 54:44 - Match Fit brought to you by MYER 01:03:01 - Drew thanks the fans of the show 01:04:17 - What does KOKO look like in 2025?01:07:53 - Close of the show and season 1 of KOKOBig thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auCheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.AUSTRALIA - https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/beefeaterEUROPE - https://beefeaterbbqeurope.co.uk/pages/contact-usA massive thanks to our new beer sponsor, Easy Times Brewing Co.

S1 Ep 42Bryan Habana and Michael Hooper join KOKO on set direct from the Emirates Dubai Sevens.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads leave their luggage-less European odyssey behind to take on the delicious yet dangerous deserts of Dubai. As we all know December signals the end of the International Test season down under, with the resurgent Wallabies going down in a tight tussle against the intoxicating Irish in Dublin. With that being said the KOKO Crew breaks down all the ins and outs of that encounter and how Aussie fans should be buoyed by what we saw in Joe Schmidt’s heartbreaking homecoming. However, as we close the book on 2024’s Test Match madness, the lads open up the sensational sevens scrapbook as we look at all the action from the Emirates Dubai Sevens. We trade in the slush and sleet of soggy Europe for the sun and sand of the UAE, to bring you a cracking show from the comfort of the Emirates Dubai Sevens Sunroom, as we celebrate the Aussie women and the Fiji men for claiming their respective titles over the weekend. Plus, the gang are joined by two of the all time greats who are now part of the HSBC red polo stable raking in that global dollar, so please get ready to enjoy the stories and world class banter from Bryan Habana and Michael Hooper.To cap off a cracking episode we express our love and support for all the people and entities involved in putting together this KOKO Tour and of course we show our appreciation for the beautiful people at MYER with an all time mixed bag Match Fit all they from the Dubai desert. As we near the end of our inaugural season as The KOKO Show we encourage you not to worry and be happy because we promise to be back bigger and better next year.

S1 Ep 41The Wallabies’ Grand Slam dream is over but the KOKO Crew are in Monaco baby!

This week on the KOKO Show the lads are coming to you from the billionaire's backyard, Monaco. In a nation known for its tangy tax breaks, OTT opulence and a general intolerance for Aussie ‘riff raff’, there are four bog standard blokes with no voices, peaking anxiety levels and rented tuxedos leaving their mark on this really tidy town. We are in Prince Albert’s country for the World Rugby Awards and after dragging Holiday Swoop away from the open bar, Drew away from stalking Dupont and putting Goit’s shirt back on for the red carpet, we found ourselves just a little sliver of time to bring you a truly luxe podcasting presentation of perfection. As the Autumn Internationals come to close with only one match remaining next weekend, with the Aussies taking on the Irish, we give you a full breakdown of all the action from week three of the November Test Match madness. Moreover, despite the panel being down in the dumps after watching the Wallabies’ Grand Slam hopes get murdered at Murrayfield, we run through all the ins and outs of Scotland’s sublime sinking of HMAS ‘Schmidt Hot’ and how the Aussies will bounce back against the Irish. Plus, we will give you a little taste of all the matches from across the weekend, as well as all the winners and grinners from World Rugby’s night of nights. I mean it aint the Logies or the RSL’s mega meat tray raffle, but Monaco is pretty cool I guess. So, get yourself squared away as we bring you MYER’s first Monaco mixed bag Match Fit and some seriously sensational ‘Super Sizzlers’ brought to you by BeefEater and Appliances Online. This show will certainly bring you vacay vibes, as boys go full ‘maxo relaxo’ in the middle of the Med. Despite our show standing out like dogs balls in such a serene setting, we promise to deliver you a demure dictation of the most distinguished debauchery in all of rugby.

S1 Ep 40KOKO lands in London to Break Bread with Ben Youngs and The Wallabies wallop the Welsh!

This week on The KOKO Show we come to your eyes and ears from foggy old London, where people come to complain and sun tans come to die. The Special guest this week on KOKO does not have a long neck nor feathers, but boy he is a bit of a goose. He is England’s most capped player of all time and from all accounts one of the best blokes to ever grace a footy field. We apologize you have to listen to this pint-sized pain in the ass for a whole episode, but we are truly grateful that Mr. Ben Youngs dropped by for a chat.The boys run through the whole slate of Test Match footy from week 2 of the November Internationals, starting with the Wallabies record-breaking win over the woeful Welsh, England falling short once again to their Southern Hemisphere counterparts, Les Bleus bouncing the big boy All Blacks and plenty more from around the grounds. Thanks to our dear friends at MYER we bring you some silky summer threads from the dullest place on earth in a confusingly beautiful mixed bag ‘Match Fit’ and we fire up the grills to deliver our ‘Super Sizzlers’ from the weekend’s action, brought to you by BeefEater and Appliances Online. So lock up families, chain up your pets, and clear out your safety deposit boxes. The KOKO Contiki Tour is in full swing and Holiday Swoop has been let out of his cage. As we have always said on this show, when the Wallabies ‘Schmidt It In’, KOKO ‘Schmidts’ alongside them but one thing is for sure our boys turn that ‘Schmidt’ up to a ten. So, sit back and enjoy as we lock in on those kilt-wearing caber tossers, that's right Scotland you’re next!

S1 Ep 39The Wallabies triumph over England inspires Alex Corbisiero as he spits bars to light up KOKO.

This week on The KOKO Show we take a minute as a nation to bask in the radiant light of victory and the glorious healing properties of ‘Schmidting it in’ over the old foe. The lads whisk you away on an all expenses paid trip in and around how the Wallabies managed to win their first match against England at Twickenham since 2015, keeping the hopes of breaking the 40 year Grand Slam drought well and truly alive. To help us navigate this titanus tussle at ‘Twicks’ we tried to think of a former English great that would willingly allow us to rub his nose in the fact that Australia is simply just better as a country, so we landed on Gits’ big burly and often baked bear of a best mate, Mr Alex Corbisiero who gives the show some much needed direction pointing out the areas of the game that caught his eye and the importance of professional identity. Furthermore, to put a bow on this vital victory for the mighty men in gold we dish up our ‘Super Sizzlers’ brought to you by BeefEater and Corbs generously graces us with a ‘phat rap’ dedicated to our show.Plus, we also cover all the other big dog bouts including the All Black’s upset of Ireland, the Boks silencing the Scots and of course Fiji whaling on Wales. We know what you are thinking, what are you guys wearing whilst you piece together this rugby roundtable of awesomeness? Well thanks to MYER the fellas are fashionably on point and they show you just what to buy for summer in the newest instalment of the always wonderful mixed bag ‘Match Fit’. So lie back and get comfy as we tell you a raunchy tale from the weekend entitled ‘The Grand Slam’, where the Northern Hemisphere wined and dined the South, then we rolled around in their fields a little, used their shower, sullied their tooth brush and never called them again, leaving the North’s ego bruised, used and confused heading into week 2 of the tour.

S1 Ep 38The Wallabies down England in the dying moments for their first win at Twickenham since 2015.

bonus

This week in the ‘KOKO Match Review’ the boys celebrate an amazing Wallabies win against the old foe England in the dying moments at Twickenham. The ‘Gladiators of Gold’ showed a new identity of grit and determination to claim only their second Test Match win over the motherland in their last twelve matchups. The gang analyzed Aussie debutant Joseph Sua’ali’i’s performance as he became only the second Wallaby behind our very own Matt Giteau to play their first professional rugby union match on the international stage. Although Joseph’s bank balance might have a few less commas than Goits, he did however manage a feat that our little legend couldn't by claiming player man of the match honours in his very first outing. In a game where both sides landed punches and weathered storms, the lads highlight that for the Wallabies Len Ikitau had a formidable performance in every facet of the game and for the English it is fair to say Marcus Smith has put a stake in the ground as a premier fly half in world rugby. However, it was Joe Schmidt’s men who dug deep for the full eighty minutes and ensured that the always elusive Grand Slam title was still alive and kicking for the Wallabies in 2024. The lads will cover every square inch of this cracking Test Match documenting the emotional ebbs and flows of International rugby and how the mighty Wallabies took a Schmidt on England’s parade. So wake the fuck up and smell the roses that we just stole from those pesky primadonna Poms. Australia it is time to stop checking your blood pressure, pop a ‘xanny’, pour yourself a spritz and just bathe in the warm and fuzzies that a win over England provides. Please enjoy another dose of the ‘KOKO Match Review’.Big thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auCheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.AUSTRALIA - https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/beefeaterEUROPE - https://beefeaterbbqeurope.co.uk/pages/contact-usFinally a massive thanks to our new beer sponsor, Easy Times Brewing Co.

S1 Ep 38The KOKO Show along with Will Genia dives head first into the November Internationals.

This week on The KOKO Show the boys are joined by a Wallabies Test Centurion, pint sized powerhouse and just all around great bloke. This fella was known for his delicious service from the base of the ruck and the amazing ability to live on a steady diet of self confidence and Pepsi Max. That is right, Will Genia drops by to impart his wisdom, footy insights and humour on our delightful panel of dullards. In this episode the boys break down the All Black’s nail biting victory over England, as well as Scotland's schooling of a feeble Fiji at Murrayfield. Fret not ye KOKO cool cats, this is not where the ‘ra ra’ ramble ends, as the fellas fine tooth comb their way through week 1 of the November Internationals giving you personalised previews of all the hot tips and count flips when it comes to deciding who is better between the North and South. However, we spend a little more time on how Joe’s ‘Gladiators of Gold’ are shaping up to dismantle the motherland and priming themselves to sufficiently ‘Schmidt’ on England’s parade. Plus, thanks to our beautiful friends at MYER for keeping this show on its toes, we slide out another silky yet sensual ‘Match Fit’ that promises to hit you in all the right places. Furthermore, with the mercury rising and the ocean glittering our hankering for a grilling session is coming to the surface, so thanks to BeefEater and Appliances Online the time for a BBQ is now. So sit back, plug in your iPod shuffle, flip a couple of snags and bask in the glow of KOKO, as we prepare the nation to watch our mighty Wallabies turn Twickenham into a temple of torture, whilst joyfully downing our foes that wear that silly rose. Ladies and Gentlemen, It’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMECODES:00:00 - Start of the show 02:42 - Introduce the boys 05:26 - Budgy Smuggler promo shoot06:33 - Rugby Roundup part 1 / Northern Hemisphere Legends07:30 - SCOTLAND V FIJI - REVIEW13:41 - ENGLAND V ALL BLACKS - REVIEW AND THE JOE MARLER HAKA SITUATION23:22 - Introduce Will Genia 25:10 - Hazing Will Genia26:36 - Will Genia on his time in Japan30:24 - Will’s opinion on the current Wallabies team 35:50 - Will on what it is like to play in the Northern Hemisphere 38:15 - KOKO Spring Tour plug39:36 - Start, Bench and Drop40:47 - Easy Times Brewing Co plug 41:01 - Will Genia on Joseph Sua’ali’i43:53 - ENGLAND V WALLABIES - PREVIEW53:27 - IRELAND V ALL BLACKS - PREVIEW59:32 - WALES V FIJI - PREVIEW01:02:22 - SCOTLAND V SOUTH AFRICA - PREVIEW01:04:08 - Match Fit brought to you by MYER01:09:13 - The KOKO Christmas Special in Orange01:10:10 - Super Sizzler brought to you by BeefEater01:12:44 - Close of the showBig thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auCheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.AUSTRALIA - https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/beefeaterEUROPE - https://beefeaterbbqeurope.co.uk/pages/contact-usFinally a massive thanks to our new beer sponsor, Easy Times Beer Co.

S1 Ep 37WE'RE BACK! The KOKO Crew return refreshed and reborn with a no guest nonsense.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads are back after a much needed hiatus, filled with meditation retreats, prostate exams and day trips to their local VIP gaming facilities. All in all it is fair to say that they are back with a renewed energy for life and the sole mindset of delivering to you our beautiful fans a just above average entertainment experience. With this being our first episode back on the horse after a break we thought let's not burden our beautiful minds with the pressures of a special guest, but rather let’s see this wild beast of a ‘no guest nonsense’ show organically grow to thoroughly encompass both the joys of rugby union and the unrivalled shenanigans deep within us all. Thanks to MYER this show is able to remain on the air and this week they kept the lights on so we can give you a full preview of the upcoming spring/autumn tours where us the salty Southerners will once again pull the pants down of some Northern nobodys in dramatic Test Match fashion. In this episode we give you a full run sheet of how each team plans to ‘Schmidt it in’ north of the invisible line whilst also preparing the residence of the UK and Ireland for their impending arrival to the ‘Motherland’ for our highly anticipated KOKO Spring Tour brought to you by MIXR and the WRU. Plus, our sun kissed studs show off their exquisite summer ready loot from MYER in another masterful mixed bag Match Fit. We also sing our praises for the gorgeous humans at Easy Times Brewing Co for their delightfully delicious and drinkable drops and of course you can't have beer without a BBQ, so we give a massive thanks to BeefEater and AppliancesOnline for their continual support.So please raise your hands if you have missed us! Well we are back whether you like it or not and we are after only one thing and that is to be ‘Kings of the Noth’. As the Wallabies make tracks beyond the great divide to set the record straight, KOKO will be there every step of the way. As we have always said “When they Schmidt, we Schmidt, let’s all Schmidt it in together”.

This week on The KOKO Show we say farewell to The Rugby Championship and we congratulate the Springboks on their first win in 5 years, as well as acknowledging their charmingly chunky trophy case. Soon it is our belief Rassie will need a rental space to stash all their hard earned and metabolically manifested hardware from across the globe. In order to put a neat little bow on this Southern Hemisphere slugfest of Test Match rugby we get the boys to grade all the nations in the TRC on how they performed in the past six games and where they stack up as they head north for their respective spring tours. Whilst we talk about our little friends north of the Equator, the KOKO Crew drop the dates and details for their hotly anticipated spring time tour, as the lads get ready to ruthlessly rumble with live shows in Cardiff, London, Edinburgh and Dublin. So please head to our website for all the necessary information, so you the punter can be part of this debaucherous descent on the UK and Ireland.As we take a little step back from the Test Match arena this week, we decided that there is no greater distraction from the ebbs and flows of footy than our next very special guest. If you ever need to fill a pod from whistle to whistle then this bloke is your answer, because when he gets tired talking about himself he has every expectation that you will pick up the baton and continue this self-centered lovefest. This larger than life loveable larrikin stopped by KOKO HQ for an unforgettable session and turned this once quaint and humble rugby show into the throbbing hog it has always wanted to be. So please put your hands together for this full time fucking legend and part time grumpy bastard. He is a big, bald, beautiful Brisbane boy and he is The KOKO Show’s Mt Everest, it is the one and only Mr Wendell Sailor. However, in between all these delightfully Dell infused discussions we find some time to show our major sponsor MYER some love with a masterfully manicured mixed bag ‘Match Fit’. Plus, we sucked back on a couple of lagers from Easy Times Beer Co and discussed our ‘Super Sizzlers’ for the week thanks to our dear friends at BeefEater and Appliances Online. So if you are in need for a little trip down ‘Degenerate Drive’ to really loosen the shackles and get amped for summer then this show is the one for you. It is time for another episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

S1 Ep 35Springboks win the 2024 TRC at home and the All Blacks sweep up the Bledisloe Cup.

bonus

This week on ‘The KOKO Match Review’ the boys are up bright and early nursing sore heads and weary eyes to give you ‘ra ra’ roundup like no other. We will fine-tooth comb our way through Bledisloe two, where the All Blacks were pushed to the edge early by a brave and willing Wallabies team in windy Wellington. After getting off to a fast start this week the Wallabies mounted significant pressure, but when push came to shove, the points came a lot easier for the big brutal boys from the land of the long white cloud. The papers and social clips will read that the Wallabies went down two to nil in the Bledisloe Cup, but it is clear to the naked eye that our ‘Gangsters of Gold’ are putting in a ‘Schmidt’ tonne effort and are progressing nicely. With the TRC on the line it would be reckless of The KOKO Crew not to address the neat little treat in Nelspruit between the Springboks and Pumas. Although the Pumas had a snowflake's chance in hell to hold the TRC title in their sassy South American hands, it was the banging Boks in the end that got up really big for Eben Etzebeth in his record breaking match. The ‘Green Goblins’ of gritty rugby proved way too strong at home for the pedestrian Pumas, claiming their much deserved place at the tippy top of The Rugby Championship. So if you are rising slowly this fine morning muttering the words “Sundays are for Swoop” then throw on your coziest crotchless pants and listen to our dulcet tones to get you really hot and heavy. It is time for ‘The KOKO Match Review’. 00:00 - Intros02:18 - Springboks v Los Pumas12:07 - Wallabies v All Blacks20:49 - KOKO Beers for Sale - go to www.kickoffsandkickons.comBig thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auCheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.AUSTRALIA - https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/beefeaterEUROPE - https://beefeaterbbqeurope.co.uk/pages/contact-usFinally a massive thanks to our new beer sponsor, Easy Times Beer Co.

S1 Ep 35Stephen ‘Beaver’ Donald joins KOKO to discuss the Bledisloe nail-biter and Bok’s loss to Los Pumas.

This week on The KOKO Show we take a long hard look at round five of The Rugby Championship, a weekend that saw the giddy guys of gold push the All Blacks to the edge in Bledisloe one, as well as the World Champion blazing Boks getting pantsed by the prideful Pumas in a one point thriller. These games are broken down and picked apart by the KOKO Crew as if they were vultures on a sun baked Kudu carcass lying in the middle of the Serengeti.To help us through this delectable feast of footy filled fabulousness, we have called in the big guns. This fella is one of New Zealand's favourite and somewhat forgotten sons, In 2011 he was the first-five that went from whitebait fishing to World Cup winning. So, please put your hands together for the wholesome hairy Beaver, the Waikato Wizard and the only man to ooze sexy with the middle name Rexy, Mr Stephen Donald. In this week’s episode Beaver takes across the ditch to see what the classy Kiwis are saying about their side's sub-par performance over the weekend, whilst also lifting the lid on what appears to be the start of a footy fuelled national crisis in New Zealand.With all this sporting sensationalism hooked straight to our veins, the boys felt it was pertinent to spend a little time to show MYER our major sponsor some love with a perfectly fierce, flashy and spectacularly ‘sigma’ mixed bag ‘Match Fit. Plus, we go around again with our meaty mates from BeefEater, serving up some serious ‘Super Sizzlers’ and the lads issue a big thanks to our purveyor of mothers milk Easy Times Beer Co for quenching the needs of four thirsty men.On top of all this we roll out a couple of fan fables on the ‘Dear Drew’ hotline and we bring back a juicy ‘Northern Hemisphere Legends’ as the top-halfers go ham for footy once again. So get out your paints, don your smocks and dust off the old easel, we want you to paint us like one of your French girls, as this porous pod sinks to brand new lows.

S1 Ep 34The Wallabies go very close against the All Blacks and the Boks are finally BEATEN by the Pumas.

bonus

This week in the ‘KOKO Match Review’ the boys peel back the layers on the All Blacks Bledisloe Cup victory in Sydney and they also have a little gander at top of the TRC tussle between Argentina and the Springboks. In James Slipper’s record breaking 140th cap for his country, it was the men from the land of the long white cloud that started fast against the wasteful Wallabies, stacking on the 21 unanswered in the first 15 minutes. Despite a brave and gutsy comeback from our ‘Gladiators in Gold’ in the second half, the early All Black rampage had us Aussies pushing ‘Schmidt’ uphill. It might be another ‘L’ in the results column for the Wallabies, but the KOKO Crew discuss at length the strengths and pitfalls of this young Aussie side heading into game two in Wellington.The fellas also find a morsel time to touch on the ‘Big Boy’ bout between Argentina and South Africa. In a match where the stakes were sky high for both sides in relation to their TRC title hopes, but it was the punishing Pumas that went full alpha and said “hold my Malbec”, as they tightened up the TRC race heading into the final round in Nelspruit. With the Bled locked up at Razor’s ranch and the TRC crown still up for grabs, it is time for the men of KOKO to bathe in the delicacies and nuances of our beautiful game, please enjoy another dose of the ‘KOKO Match Review’.

S1 Ep 34Aaron Smith is quick to the breakdown on KOKO serving up delicious nuggets ahead of Bledisloe one.

This week on The KOKO Show we set the scene for round five of the TRC, bigging up all things Bledisloe Cup and how the Wallabies can leave a hypothetical bag of flaming Schmidt on the All Black’s doorstep. Despite the Trans-Tasman tussle being the centerpiece this weekend, we also give the Argentina v South Africa title race match a little love, debating whether the prancing Pumas have what it takes at home to pull down some silky Springbok slacks.In order to enhance all this glorious rugby chat we have enlisted the help of one of the greatest Kiwis to ever do it. He might be small in stature but boy was he big in the ‘pain in the arse’ department, he is the puny punisher from Palmerston North and the Herculean halfback who broke Aussie hearts for fun. Please welcome our favourite little deep fried delicacy Mr Aaron ‘Nuggy’ Smith. On the show, Nuggy breaks down what it's like watching the All Blacks from afar, how he sees the Bledisloe Cup panning out and lifts the lid on the terrifying fact that his International playing days might not be over.With all this manic footy preparation surrounding the KOKO Crew we spare a little time to show MYER our major sponsor some love with a perfectly curated, elegantly electric and decadently drenched mixed bag ‘Match Fit. Plus, we welcome back our meaty mates from BeefEater and the lads issue a big thanks to our new beer/mothers milk provider Easy Times Beer Co out of Brisbane.On top of all this fiscal fanfare we fill this fallow week with three new spectacular segments which include, ‘Sundays are for Swoop’, ‘Get fit with Gits’ and ‘Dear Drew: The KOKO Hotline’. So sit back, lather yourself in coconut oil, sit in the sun and sizzle in the serenity of our podcasting putridness. They say there is nothing healthy about our show, but fuck me it is always a wild ride.

S1 Ep 33Wallabies HUMILIATED by Los Pumas, the Boks do it again and KOKO welcomes in the Hello Sport boys.

This week on the KOKO Show we got down and dirty with Australian content royalty, Tom and Eddy from the Hello Sport Podcast were kind enough to open up their studio and minds to be used and abused by this poor excuse of a show. We talk about everything from the seasonal nature of rosé, the correlation between sports administration and dumpling consumption and the current standing of Union in the Australian sporting landscape. There is nothing quite like talking footy fables with new friends, all while sipping on a tangy little tequila.Plus, the boys break down the medium rare Argentinian ass whooping the Wallabies received over in Santa Fe, pulling no punches as they unpack why we sucked, how we sucked and who sucked the most. However, on the other side of every World Record pride pounding there sits the victor and boy didn’t those Argies turn up the heat on our Aussie lads, until they were done like a dinner. Alas, as Australians, we get back on the horse, we go again and we try not to let the All Blacks make it 68-27.Despite being an Australian show, it would be remiss of us not to debate the big dog duel between South Africa and New Zealand. It was the footy version of Foreman v Ali, Swoop v the elusive feature and Gits v saturated fats, minute to minute this grind of a match proved in the end why the Springboks are World Rugby’s benchmark.So if you are a Wallabies fan and you are feeling a little down, a touch blue and you are onto your third bottle of Savvy B, we just say don't sweat the small stuff, the nation always needs a tidy right after the Schmidt hits the fan. So pick up the baby wipes, arm yourselves with windex and press play on the KOKO Show. Let’s clean up Australian Rugby together! It’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMECODES00:00 - Start of the show00:50 - Introduction05:22 - Introduce the Wallabies07:35 - Introduction for the Hello Sports11:29 - Hello Sport gives The KOKO Show podcasting tips12:49 - Sports admin, dumplings and the fact that Peter V’landys is a seafood guy15:20 - How union and league went different directions in 200317:36 - Rugby union pokie machine idea20:49 - The boys talk about how Aussie rugby is growing22:48 - Why don’t people like seeing a national rugby team do well27:09 - The tough mentality of other teams in World Rugby28:37 - Do we need more league players in rugby union?36:30 - Which cartoon characters are you sexually attracted to?40:21 - The shared love for dad jokes and the hatred for public speaking45:22 - Sydney Live Show plug46:04 - Hell Sport guys depart46:13 - Reflecting on the chat with the Hello Sport guys57:08 - The boys having a crack at Swoop for not doing the ‘Match Review’49:59 - Drew shows off the new merch51:24 - Match Fit brought to you by MYER54:42 - Rugby Roundup - Argentina v Wallabies review01:09:55 - Rugby Roundup - South Africa v All Blacks review01:17:49 - Other International rugby scores01:18:56 - The KOKO Quiz01:23:53 - Thanks to MYER01:24:17 - Socials plug and close of the showBig thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE RIGHT NOW - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us [email protected].

S1 Ep 32Wallabies WORST ever defeat! Springboks beat All Blacks again.

bonus

The Wallabies fell a long way short in Santa Fe against Los Pumas, unable to double down on their gritty win in the rain last week. The injury embattled ‘Boys of Gold’ got completely and utterly outplayed by the hosts in the second forty, as the Pumas piled on the points for fun. Plus, we also touch on that Cape Town ‘crunch-a-thon’, as the lads from the land of the long white cloud lose two on the trot to the blistering Boks. In a week where Australia stands as one to congratulate James Slipper for tying George Gregan’s all-time Aussie caps record, the ‘KOKO Crew’ are here right after the action to give you some hot takes, juicy tips and tangy touchpoints all wrapped up in a comprehensively disappointing review of some toe tickling Test Footy. Despite the early start on our end, the lads promise they are only three bloody marys deep and they are ready to rock your rugby related senses all morning long. So if you are up at the crack of dawn buffing an chiseling that slinky summer bod or just soaking in some self-blame from a Sunday morning walk of shame, just forget the world, pop two nurofen and wash it down with a good swig of luke warm KOKO. That’s right, it’s time for another dose of the ‘KOKO Match Review’. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 32Bryan Habana flies by The KOKO Show for the very 'first' time ever.

This week on The KOKO Show we dive right back into the magical ecosystem that is The Rugby Championship season, nourishing our bodies with a gritty ‘Top Schmidt’ Wallabies win and nibbling on the big dog battle that saw the Springboks prevail over the All Blacks. With so much mouthwatering footy on the menu, it is only right that we pick both carcasses clean, like the analytical vultures we are. With the Wallabies well and truly back in the winners circle the lads bathe in the radiant aura of victory and boy it does it feel good. This episode Swoop was loud, Biv had his finger on the pulse, Gits was happy and Prof was Prof, giving you our beautiful fans a well rounded trip through the unforgiving yet always rewarding tundra that is International Rugby. Plus, to help us deliver this sensory overload for your eyes and ears, we were joined by one of the greatest to ever lace them up. He is the Joburg Joker, the tip-toeing tech tycoon and the only bloke that can make racing animals and planes for money look cool. It is of course our South African sidekick Mr Bryan Habana. With Spring now sprung and the mercury rising, the boys in partnership with our beautiful friends at MYER give our fashion focused fans a little taste of what to wear in warmer months in another mixed bag ‘Match Fit’. So flip out your shopping channel deck chair, get that coconut oil in all of your deepest crevices and soak up some springtime sun, with your four favourite flogs nattering in your head.

S1 Ep 31The willing Wallabies defeat Los Pumas and spirited Springboks comeback vs ambushed All Blacks

bonus

The under siege Wallabies went to South America looking to right some wrongs after two losses to the Springboks and boy did they answer their critics against the Argies. These Aussie battlers put in 80 of your toughest minutes to get back into the winners circle in La Plata.

S1 Ep 31Lote Tuqiri triggers a shark alarm on KOKO as he swims in for some smashing stories.

This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by a code hopping hooligan, he is one of the greatest to ever play on the wing in either code. This Fijian born flyer has a penchant for a good nap, carving up the dance floor to Usher and spear tackling Richie McCaw in a Test Match. So please put your hands together for the Sunny Bank sensation, a man who went bang at the Broncos and then titillated at the Tahs, he was alway the smoothest on the park and that's why they call him the Shark. It is the one and only Mr Lote Tuqiri. Plus, with this past week being a fallow weekend for footy, we turned our attention to bigging up the Wallabies trip to Argentina and the clash of the titans in South Africa when the All Blacks try to play spoiler against the Springboks. On top of all of that we take a little peek at the grassroots level as we preview the Shute Shield Final between Eastern Suburbs and Northern Suburbs in the NSW domestic competition. Lastly, but certainly not leastly we pay homage to the beautiful people at MYER, as we celebrate all the ‘Daddys’ out there with a little appreciation and exploration of ‘Spring Newness’. So strip off your layers as the sun reemerges from the chains of Winter, get out your antihistamines as Spring readies to fuck up your sinuses and just enjoy the dulcet tones of the KOKO Crew.

S1 Ep 30Joe van Niekerk leads us in a guided meditation of enlightenment and all things Rugby Championship.

This week on The KOKO Show we take you on a necessary journey of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment. We are joined this week by a man that consistently played footy at the highest level and then after retirement decided to live at an even higher one. He has played 52 caps for the Springboks and he was the ‘legend face’ of Toulon Rugby, a man that draws you in with his warmth and unwavering energy, it is of course the father of flow and the patron of ‘pura vida’, Mr Joe van Niekerk. In this week’s episode the KOKO Crew get taken in a slightly different direction, we delve into the trials and tribulations of life after footy and what it means to find your ‘self’ post retirement. With all that being said we still found time to dish you up a “succulent Chinese meal” of TRC content as we break down the Wallabies second defeat at the hands of the Green Machine in Perthfotein. Plus, we have a little gander at how the All Blacks took Los Pumas to the Garden of Eden and showed them how the big boys play. On top of all this yummy podtent, MYER is back in the fold presenting you with another deliciously fashionable instalment of ‘Match Fit’ and our dear friends at MANSCAPED AU allowed swoop to go hammer and tong at Biv’s bits. So find your flow, open up your mind's eye and let this white light podcasting excellence fill your every orifice. This week we are aligning your chakras, whilst derailing everything else. It’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMECODES - 1 min 10 seconds00:00 - Start of the show 01:56 - Boks Office collab recap 02:41 - Introducing the boys 05:00 - Weekend recaps 08:39 - Live Show plug10:20 - Defender and IHG plugs 13:15 - Wallabies v Springboks review20:04 - ‘KOKO Match Review’ plug21:27 - ‘Match Fit’ brought to you by MYER27:19 - Introducing Joe van Niekerk 30:24 - Joe getting inducted into the Toulon Hall of Fame31:27 - Joe talking about becoming a dad34:56 - Joe talking about the current Springboks 35:47 - The boys talk about playing with Joe in Toulon38:05 - Joe talking about what it was like playing with Drew and Gits.39:56 - Joe on finding his identity after rugby45:37 - Joe talking about the difference between old Joe and new Joe47:57 - The boys talking about how finishing footy is a challenge51:59 - Gits wants to know which cartoon character Joe is attracted to53:07 - The boys discuss their favourite rugby memories.58:03 - Start one, bench one and drop one 59:19 - Joe’s advice to young rugby players coming through 01:01:30 - Joe’s current mindfulness workshops 01:07:15 - Is Aussie rugby using past players to help the current team?01:11:09 - Saying goodbye to Joe van Niekerk01:13:26 - Spring Tour expression of interest 01:14:40 - All Blacks v Argentina review01:19:26 - Manscaped sponsorship segment ‘Back Burning by Biv’01:25:35 - The KOKO Quiz - one question only 01:27:13 - Close of the showBig thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE RIGHT NOW - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickons TWITTER/X: @kickoffskickons YOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickons TIKTOK: @kickoffskickons If you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us [email protected].

S1 Ep 29KOKO Match Review: The stylish and silky Springboks break the Wallabies hearts in the wild weather out West.

bonus

The embattled Wallabies went down swinging once again at the hands of the big bad Boks in weather more fitting for a day at ‘Wet n Wild World’ rather than a footy match. The KOKO Crew are back once again like a pack of hungry news reporters with absolutely no journalistic integrity to give you all their spicy takes and tasty touch points from Saturday's game. Although, we can't promise 100% accurate information, we can deliver unwavering charisma and unapologetic Aussie bias. So if you are stuck in a Wallaby induced mine shaft of depression, climb back out and soak up some Aussie spirit, swim with a whale shark and chug some of Margaret River’s finest. Just remember it is always darkest before the Wallabies ‘Schmidt it in’ again. It’s time for another dose of the ‘KOKO Match Review’. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 27The Olympic spirit fills the KOKO show as it goes faster, higher and stronger in week 27.

This week on The KOKO Show we travel back to Ancient Greece, in order to rock the fuck out of a toga and understand what it is about the Olympics that gets the boys a smidgen hot under the saddle blanket. In a quest for experimentation and self-growth this show is going to try something a little different this week and tackle the giant that is the Paris Olympics. We touch on all the Rugby Sevens news from the first few days of competition, highlighting the valiant efforts of the ‘Golden Guys’, the role of Dupont in France’s golden glory and how the Aussie Women are shaping up for world domination. Plus, the boys get out of their comfort zone as we dissect plenty of other amazing Olympic performances and the fellas pick their favourite moments from the 33rd games so far. We know Paris is famous for angry waiters, a metal tower and bloody big roundabout with an arch, but Mr Holiday Swoop lifts the lid on his must hits and naughty nooks you have to see when you visit the ‘City of Love’. To cap off this très bien episode we get the competitive juices flowing with an Olympic sized quiz, filled to the brim with gold standard questions, as the boys fight it out for spots on the podium. So heat up your croissants, chalk up your mits and get your hands off ya batton, we are about to go full send on this triple pike of a podcast and of course we always stick the landing.

This week on The KOKO Show we celebrate the mighty Wallabies going back to back to back in 2024, as we dive deep into the weekend's footy, throwing ‘Schmidt’ at the wall and seeing what sticks. With Mr Matt ‘Goitan’ Giteau sunning his bits and pieces in the SoCal summer, we have brought in a superstar replacement to adequately fill the void left by the richest man in Canberra. Our panelist this week is the fleet footed frontrower that cuts defenses up like a rusty old lawnmower, a baby faced bulldozer who will never hinge whilst getting off on a scrummaging binge. That is right, please welcome the bloke known as the Newington nightmare, he is all bells and no whistle and boy does he jingle all the way, it is the one and only Mr Angus Bell. In this week's episode we cover all the games from the weekend’s inter-tier bonanza of beat downs, we touch on San Diego’s disappointing exit from the MLR finals in our ‘Northern Hemisphere Legends’ segment and we have a little look at what the Wallabies need to work on moving into the upcoming TRC. Plus, it wouldn't be the KOKO spirit, without showing our headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren some love, so we deliver you a ‘Match Fit’ straight from the catwalks of Milan, dripping in luxe living and dapper decadence. So pour yourself a double, spark up a winnie red and get cozy on your industrial strength water bed.

S1 Ep 25Jonathan ‘Fox’ Davies brings some tangy tales from Wales this week on The KOKO Show

This week on The KOKO Show the boys bask in the ethereal light of back-to-back Wallabies victories over the willing Welsh, with the main focus being getting lit and talking Schmidt. As the Wallabies remain on pace for complete rugby world domination, the crew also find some time to break down the other ‘BIG DAWG’ Internationals from across the weekend, which saw the All Blacks pants England, Ireland put the Boks on the rocks and the Arigies fry up the French. With all this global footy lovin’ going on, we thought it would be fitting to bring in a guest that has faced all these foes and has come out the other side still baby faced and bushy tailed. This fella has played over 90 caps for Wales, he is a Six Nations Champion and has represented the Lions on six occasions. He is the headgear wearing hottie, the Bancyfelin bruiser and the vixen from the Valleys, it is of course Jonathan ‘Fox’ Davies. Plus, thanks to our headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren brought to you by our beautiful friends at Myer, the lads are looking luminous, luscious and quite simply lovable in another stylish installment of ‘Match Fit’. We know we are too generous, but when you think we couldn't fit any more into this bloody show, we somehow find enough room to squeeze in the world's greatest pie and a little bit of Quiz action. That's right thanks to Four’N Twenty for sponsoring the KOKO Quiz and not only do they make pies that are 100% Aussie Beef, they are also 100% bloody delicious.So, instead of taking a long walk off a short jetty, just throw on your most luxurious activewear, Fosbury flop onto your favourite ottoman and just let the dulcet tones of four half pissed lunatics try and tell you what happened this week in the world of rugby.

S1 Ep 24Test rugby is BACK! The KOKO Show dives into a fabulous feast of International footy.

This week on The KOKO Show we unshackle ourselves from the world of high-end rugby guests to get down and dirty with the majestic temptress that is International Rugby. Prof and the boys peel back the layers on all of the big matches from the weekend, with special attention placed on the Wallabies' big win over the luckless Welsh. The crew give their in depth opinions and hard hitting analysis of Australia’s new era of rugby, as the men in gold successfully started the ‘Schmidting It In’ process with a gritty win in game one of their July Series.Plus, we unpack all of the big DAWG duels that certainly lived up to their hype, with South Africa downing a gallant Ireland, New Zealand edging out a persistent England and France beating the Argies with the blunt end of a baguette. With week one of global games coming to a close it was a dominant display by the teams from the Southern semicircle of the world, which led the lads to renaming this week's juicy dose of ‘Northern Hemisphere Losers’ in order to be more accurate. Also in the show, we dish up a classic case of ‘What’s Drewing’, Prof is the target of his first ‘Social Snitch’ and finally Adam ‘Pieman’ Ashley-Cooper goes for a three peat in the Four’N Twenty KOKO Quiz.Last, but certainly not least, thanks to our headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren the boys are literally wearing too many threads to count and boy do they look sexy in this week's installment of ‘Match Fit’. So put on your cork hats, firmly re-plug your double pluggers and throw on your going out footy shorts, because the bloody Wallabies are back in the winners circle and it is time to celebrate with your favourite ra ra ramblers.We present to you episode 24 of Kick Offs and Kick Ons. TIMECODES 00:00 - Intros 06:04 - The boys weekend at the footy 06:47- Swoops Defender outing at the rugby 08:46 - WALLABIES v WALES review 10:52 - Swoop on the Wallabies positives18:38 - The boys talk about Joe Schmidt’s first game21:26 - Swoop on what being a coach is like 24:50 - What Wales has to do in game two to win27:34 - WALLAROOS V FIJIANA review30:08 - ‘Match Fit’ brought to you by Polo Ralph Lauren 35:54 - Social plug, merch drops and live show info38:05 - Social Snitches39:57 - Northern Hemisphere Legends 41:08 - SOUTH AFRICA V IRELAND review43:45 - Gits praises Cheslin Kolbe52:54 - Holiday Swoop’s Hot Spots 57:07 - ALL BLACKS V ENGLAND review01:06:01 - ARGENTINA V FRANCE review01:08:54 - Smaller international results 01:09:47 - What's Drewing?01:11:02 - The Four’N Twenty KOKO Quiz01:18:41 - Final Thoughts01:19:40 - Hugo singing ‘Waltzing Matilda’ to finish the show'Big thanks to Polo Ralph Lauren for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.au/b/Polo%20Ralph%20LaurenBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE RIGHT NOW - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickons TWITTER/X: @kickoffskickons YOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickons TIKTOK: @kickoffskickons If you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us [email protected].

And as always please continue to ‘Schmidt It In’.Big thanks to Polo Ralph Lauren for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.au/b/Polo%20Ralph%20LaurenBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE RIGHT NOW - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickons TWITTER/X: @kickoffskickons YOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickons TIKTOK: @kickoffskickons If you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us [email protected].

S1 Ep 23Nic White joins The KOKO Show to Give us Some Tender ‘Lovin’ from Wallabies Camp

This week on The KOKO Show we have provided you with an absolute ball tearer of an episode as we transition into the beautiful oasis that is International Rugby. As we head into our 23rd week of life, the boys are joined by our favourite pint sized pioneer of quick ball and shit talk who is known for his skill, leadership and his beautiful top lip warmer. It is of course our number one Wallabies halfback born in a place named after a baked good, the one and only Mr Nic William White. With Nic in tow we submerge our souls deep down into the inner workings of Wallaby Camp, getting all the tea from our little mate as the Wallabies shape up to shatter the will of Wales.As aforementioned, the boys get stuck into the majestic galaxy that is test footy as we build up and break down all the big International series that will be pleasuring your eyes and ears in the coming months. There is of course a little taste of home for those in the top half of the globe with a juicy ‘Northern Hemisphere Legends’ segment. Plus, back by popular demand Mr DOGG gives you the Cape Town edition of ‘Holiday Swoop’s Hot Spots’ and at the end we get ‘quizzy with it’ thanks to our dear friends at Four’N Twenty.And I know what you are all thinking, where is the bloody ‘Match Fit’ segment? Well hold your Polo horses because with our headline sponsor at Polo Ralph Lauren the boys get real drippy this week with their fly and fresh fits. So sit back, relax and fix yourself a white wine shandy, as the KOKO Crew are about to make you randy. It's time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

S1 Ep 22Sariah Paki and Tim Walsh set The KOKO Show Ablaze as the Paris Olympics Approach

This week on the KOKO Show we give you a double guest charcuterie board filled to the brim with Olympic sized treats. We are joined by the one woman wrecking crew who prefers flattening opponents than crossing the whitewash, she is known as the Narrabeen Knuckle Duster, but we just like to call her Miss Sariah Paki. On top of having one of the star players, we thought let's also get the gentleman that puts these gold medal gurus through their paces. He is the Russel Crowe of the Women’s Sevens set up and boy does he have a beautiful mind, it is the mercurial messenger, Mr Tim Walsh. With the KOKO torch lit and the ceremony over, Sariah and Tim dove deep into their Olympic preparations, discussed the sacrifices for success and illuminated the best path for their gold medal domination in Paris.   Plus, the boys most certainly jumped through all the Olympic rings to bring you your favourite KOKO segments including a full ‘Rugby Roundup’ where we breakdown the Blues v Chiefs final, we had a quick visit to Dr ‘What’s Drewing?’ to discuss Joe Schmidt’s first Wallaby Squad, as well as a little squizz at the winners and losers out of the All Blacks selection session. The boys then took a little jaunt North of the Equator to unpack all the footy action over the weekend which included England pounding Japan, the Springboks emasculating the Welsh, the Top 14 Semis and finally the URC Final.Just kick back in your comfy, stylish and durable threads from our headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren and let’s bloody manifest about living out our Olympic dream of being higher, faster and stronger together. So, all that is left to do is take your favourite Matt Giteau gummy, run to the fridge for snacks and hammer-curl a glass of crisp Savvy B, it’s time for another session of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.00:00 - Start of the show 00:33 - Polo Ralph Lauren Plug 01:07 - Show intro02:24 - The boys intros04:00 - Recap of the boy’s weekends 07:42 - ‘Match Fit’ segment brought to you by Polo Ralph Lauren13:16 - Socials and website plug 14:22 - Daniel Ricciardo loves the KOKO merch15:21 - Social Snitches segment17:39 - Introducing Tim Walsh and Sariah Paki37:09 - Who are the Aussie Women's Sevens biggest rivals40:01 - Tim Walsh almost got Gits to play sevens41:51 - Bringing fifteens players into the sevens last minute45:09 - The KOKO Quiz 59:08 - Rugby Roundup Segment 59:18 - Super Rugby Final01:04:18 - What’s Drewing? - Discussing the Wallabies and All Blacks squads01:10:43 - Northern Hemisphere Legends01:29:02 - Top 14 Semi-Finals 01:33:53 - Super Sizzler brought to you by BeefEater and special KOKO ‘Beef10’ discount code01:38:49 - Thanks to Polo Ralph Lauren our headline sponsor01:39:33 - Signing off the showBig thanks to Polo Ralph Lauren for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.au/b/Polo%20Ralph%20LaurenGet yourself 10% off with the code 'Beef10' and also support the show!AUSTRALIA - https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/beefeaterEUROPE - https://beefeaterbbqeurope.co.uk/pages/contact-usBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE RIGHT NOW - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us [email protected].

S1 Ep 21The KOKO Show Delivers Another Naughty and Nostalgic No Guest Nonsense Episode

This week on The KOKO Show, the lads go free solo on another ‘No Guest Nonsense’ episode. We felt it was time to once again serve up a raw and glam-free helping of footy, fun and complete fuck-wittery. With Mr Muscles Matt Giteau joining us from the Midwestern utopia that is Chicago we had to get straight to business, whilst still treating you to a full KOKO buffet and still ensuring that the ‘Imposing Imp’ was early to bed and well rested for his big game.Thanks to our headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren, in partnership with MYER, the fellas are looking on fleek and are dripping with sumptuous style, for another installment of the always fashionable ‘Match Fit’. Plus, we give you a wall to wall ‘Rugby Roundup’ segment, breaking down what happened in the Super(b) Rugby Semi Finals, previewing the final between the Blues and the Chiefs, as well as a healthy dose of medicinal madness from Dr ‘What’s Drewing?’.However, the fun doesn't stop there as we keep chillin’ and grillin’ with our dear friends at BeefEater and Appliances Online, throwing a couple of grassfed ‘Super Sizzlers’ on the barbie for you all to enjoy. As you all know the boys threw together a ‘Halfway Wallabies XV’ mid-way through the season and now that all the Aussie teams are out and Schmidty has his silky hands all over his cattle, we thought it was pertinent to make it official with The KOKO Show’s ‘Full-Way Wallabies Starting XV’.So throw in your earpods and crank up that sound cancellation, drown out life and just bask in the beauty that is ‘No Guest Nonsense’, then get on the Internet and buy some Polo Ralph Lauren garb and a bloody BeefEater, so we can keep making your Tuesday’s tangy.
